VOLUNTEER SERVICE

WHY VOLUNTEER?

Volunteering can be a very rewarding experience, whether you are looking to get back into work, have time on your hands whilst you are child rearing, do shift work or have retired. It is a way of passing on your skills, offering our carers time to be listened to or supporting our staff at our two very busy offices.

Volunteering is an opportunity to meet others, share interests, learn new skills, participate in training that covers a variety of topics.  You'll feel appreciated and valued for your worthwhile contribution.

Our volunteer team are involved in all kinds of projects, contributing greatly and enhancing the service that we are able to offer our carers.
